Also I caught something from you. I bought the sta today. Won the first match then lost eight in a row...
First rule of thumb: Don't do what Nebu does. That's the key to success. |

Except in janky Chinese heavy tanks - then do exactly what Nebu does.

This is how my day in lights has been going: Defeat
Battle: Fiery Salient
Vehicle: Aufklärungspanzer Panther
Experience received: 2,843
Credits received: 53,890
Battle achievements: Top Gun, Defender, Master Gunner, Sharpshooter, Mastery Badge: "Ace Tanker"
WN8: 19182 I'm 0-10 in them so far while running WN8s in the 4k-19k range. That's insane. How you can manage the frustration. Aren't you supposed to get the same XP/credits as the winning team when you get at least one medal on the loser's side? |

Yes. you get Courageous Resistance which is an xp modifier that makes xp and credits similar to if you had won. Kinda weird that the game doesn't recognize that game as my high xp where it would have if it had been a win.
EDIT: Thought it didn't apply to credits but apparently it does.

I'm starting to rethink this whole Type 62 mission. Running 25-30 matches a day is eating up more time than I had anticipated. The damage and kill figures aren't so bad, it's the base xp that is the grind... particularly when pubbies use everything in their power to throw matches. Strazos: Sold my 110 last night so I could buy a tier 8 medium. No more crazy chinese heavies for me for a while...  |

Yeah, I always love my Pak40's gun but concede it can be destroyed easily due to light armor and abysmal turn rate. Imagine my surprise when I found I couldn't reliably kill T18s and the fuckers could outflank me. Wtf.

Does it happens in World of Tanks too that from time to time you lose 9 matches out of 10 when queueing solo, and there's absolutely nothing you can do?

I think it has to do with the matchmaker putting you in a pool of less-skilled players. When I have a losing streak I switch servers or quit for a while. |

It can be this, being bottom tier, or the MM giving your team a disadvantage with team composition (too many mediums, etc). It all works out over large sample sizes. You can get some really terrible matches in the short run though. |

I was something like 12 for 38 last night. I lost 7 or 8 games straight in my T-54 (which is one of the best tanks in the game). My WN8 for the day was 1290 or so- not spectacular, but certainly above average. I just got tomato team after tomato team. I have never seen so many 30-37% win chance teams in my life.

Just read in the patch notes that they are making the bobble-head a pref-8. Woot. But man are they nerfing the T57. Bummer. EDIT: As a result of statistics analysis, lowered the excessively high values for obtaining Marks of Excellence Ha! Knew it. This is a sneaky way of saying the way they calculated those things was broken. |

Recipe for a free GLD- Play your FV304 for about 2 hours. Damage 75 tanks. Enjoy.
Easiest mission ever.

I definitely agree with this man. Took like 15 missions which are really quick in the FV304. I'd get seven or eight damages a map most of the time. It was hilarious to be grouped with WAP for this raining pain on people. Plus it's a good excuse to take a horridly OP arty out and perma-track someone or switch to their buddy and not care about winning. |

Learned a valuable lesson today. Games = 86 Win Rate = 45.35% WN8 = 2138 2138 WN8 is not enough to carry pubbies 50% of the time.  |

I did the medium daily missions, the medium, and the heavy equipment mission. I was ready to strangle a puppy. How much scotch did you have to drink to get through that? |

I did them all but the heavy mission. I did the daily lights and mediums mission Fri, Sat, and Sun. I will save you a bed in the loonie bin. |

Just did 2400 in damage and 5300 spotting damage in a CW battle. Gotta love being the med spotting a huge heavy push right into a TD firing line.

I have a crappy weekend and now I'm getting trolled by WG. I just bought the tier 7 German Panther M10 premium... now it's 30% off. A week ago I bought 6 months premium time and it's on sale as well.
Some good back to school sales if anyone wants a tier 6 or 7 premium or needs to buy premium time.
